'1'0 allwhont'fit may coner `s i I l l Be it known that LCHARLES E.BoYN'IoN, ofthe city and count-y of San Francisco, State4 of'California,

I `have'inventedauflmproved Fluting andlBeading-Tool for Wood-Vlorkers;VandLI vdo hereby-declare-the'following desoription `andtmcompanyingdrawing are s'uf'- foient to enable any'perso skilied-in theart orscience towhich it mostnearly appertaius-to make and us'e` mysaidginvention or ,improvements without further inventionor-experiinent. l

p `The object of myiuvention is to provide animproved tool for alllnting` and iheading, and morev cspecially-for uishingfoff the cornersof coach and carriage-workyand A 'It consists, first, ina novelconstruction' of the.y

` t `header,.whereby I am enabled to forrnseveral diler-A entnlo'ldingswithl one head, and to use different beads A is-a handle, which is` madeof suitable shape and size to be easily grasped by a hand at each end;aud

it has a slot, B,madethrough the middle, of suiieieut size to admit `theheader easily and give plentyof space to clear itself of'shavings. Tothe under side4 ofthis handle is xed a faceplate, C, which is made withtwo jaws, a, (t, between which the handle is set and firmly iixed. l Alip or port-ion of the plate, l), extends far enough out in front of therest ofthe handle to make a bear.. ing-surface, and prevent the handlefrom rolling in.v the hand. ".It also saves'much wear. A

A guide, D, projects 4below the tace-plate, and an edges.

extension,l of this guide, into'the slot'B on one side, i serves as anut for the holding-screw E.

The header F may be constructed with anynuniber of slots, c o, and willhave as many beading or utlng- The'slotsfit `downvover the guide Dfarenough-'to allow theduter to appear below theface-plate, when it is rmlyfixedby turning up the holding-screw 'Y The uting-edges d d are formedaround the c1roninference of a steel plate, as shown, and are made ofany of the 'common ormost useful forms'fjflheyare made in pairs, one of`each pair standing'upon either side of the guide, so that one ortheother may be used, as the position of the work `makes -it mostconvenient.

If the header is made with four,or six, or other nl'lmher ofcutting-edges, it will have the same number of" slots c. Any number ofheads maybeltted and employed with a single handle, but with two theworkman will have ten or twelvediierent heads, wh ichl will usually besucient.

Having thus described my invention, What l claim as new, and desiretosecure hy Letters Patent, is-J i I 1'.' The beading-tool F, with oneor more different iluters or sets of cutting-edges, dd,- substantiallyas and for the purposes herein described.
